Before Using Bluetooth Headphones

When using Bluetooth headphones, keep note that:

  • You can only pair one Bluetooth audio device at a time.

  • You cannot use your Bluetooth devices and the Wi-Fi Speaker Surround Setup feature (also called Surround), or TV SoundConnect simultaneously.

  • Compatibility issues may occur, depending on the Bluetooth device. For instance, some Bluetooth headphones are designed for mobile devices exclusively and wouldn't pair with a TV.

  • Lip-sync errors may occur.

  • The TV and Bluetooth device may disconnect, depending on the distance between them.
